Artifact: PED 201-Motor Development Observation and Lab Report

Date: Spring 2010

Reflection:

In my Motor Development class every Monday we were asked to go to St. Mary’s school to work with children. It was a very positive experience and I learned a lot. Motor Development will benefit me in my future career of becoming a Physical education teacher. I learned very useful skills that I will definitely use throughout my life. Working with the children was a great opportunity and I taught many useful principals that relate to physical activity and fitness.


NASPE Standard 2


Skill and Fitness Based Competence: Physical education teacher candidates are physically educated individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to demonstrate competent movement performance and health enhancing fitness delineated in the NASPE K-12 Standards.

In track and Field class I learned the skills you need to teach children. Over the winter break I went back to my old high school and helped my coach show the girls the skills you need in track.

NASPE Standard 3


Planning and Instruction: Physical education teacher candidates plan and implement developmentally appropriate learning experiences aligned with local state, and national standards to address the diverse needs of all students.

As a member of the SUNY Cortland Cross Country and Track and field team I participate regularly in physical activity. As a team we work together and develop appropriate learning experiences as a team.




NASPE Standard 4


Instructional Delivery and Management: Physical education candidates use effective communication and pedagogical skills and strategies to enhance student engagement and learning.

In Health and related Fitness I was able to understand a healthy life style. I learned that was healthy and very fit. I made my own personal workout plan and diet. I followed it and enhanced my level of physical education.
